h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

hola hermanito,

What shape? Oh, something somewhat less lumpy, me thinks

I'm not missing the wine with meals. The main reasons for switching to water are to save money and lose weight. I'll still allow myself wine at the weekends.

Of course, I have only been doing this for a week. It may not last. But I'm not even thinking about that for now. Just enjoying feeling healthier and, anyhow, I'd rather give my hard-earned money to the bookshop than to Marlborough.

How are you doing? I have a class soon and then I think I'll just relax with my new book.

sis

Good life is great, but work keeps getting in the way.

Had a good couple of training sessions this morning and Im getting two other volunteers from the club on the training course so I dont have to do every session. Oh I told you that already.

Of to see some people I havent seen since christmas tomorrow about some building and decorating they want done. No rest for the wicked.

Hope your class goes well.

Take care.

Hello big sis.

Typical. When I finally get time to spend on here everything goes quite And your not around to chat to. Oh well.

Hope your having fun speak to you soon.

Not that Ive been following you aound (much) but I dont know if you have seen this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F27390?thread=190977 it looks like the start of the Hoo/Justin relationship (?). I have been doing my best not to post to much on anything contnetious for a couple of days in an attempt not to post to angrily. Think I managed to slip up a couple of times but did keep my finger of the post button on most threads. Especialy the ones involving the usual suspects.

Aha! You *were* following me around!

Wow, did that thread ever have looooooooooooong postings. Hard to know when Hoovooloo and Justin met - they were both on the god thread at one point too.

Did you see Member's reply to Jordan this morning? That he is definitely NOT Hoovooloo? Ho hum. Whatever.

I haven't seen you post anything angry lately. Della will probably stop replying on the god(s) thread now that Member, myself and you have all posted there one after the other.

Well, time to eat and get ready for work. Later alligator . . .

sis

I want to still be in bed!

Had a lovely surprise last night when an old flatmate of mine, Alex, turned up in Sevilla with a friend. They got really cheap flights from Newcastle to Malage - 45 pounds - and so hopped on the next plane. Anyhow, Alex lived with me about six years ago and he was back here for a short visit about two years ago. But it was just like he had never been away at all. They took me out for tapas and wine and we had a really nice time.

Up too late though. And now up too early. And I'm a bit out-of-practice with drinking wine. So I am feeling veerrrrrry tired.

Time for some serious

Good that sounds nice, glad you had a good time sis.

Fruit Juice and a Bike ride, this is the advice of Dr.Hangover.

The fruit juice will help the bits you've been damaging to recover and the bike ride (stay away from busy roads) will sweat out the toxins.

I know it seems the hardest thing to do (if you are hungover)but trust me its the quickest natural way to recover.

Hope you feel better soon

Oh no, not hungover at all (just had two glasses of ). But I only got about five hour's sleep and so I am feeling, well, like I only got five hour's sleep.

Anyhow, the is now kicking in and I am having brekky as I write to you. Toast and And so I am already beginning to feel a bit perkier.

Better finish here and get ready to go to class - I have to leave in about ten minutes.

Its nice and quite here on a sunday aint it.

Been out and walked the dogs fetched the papers and generally enjoyed a hassel free sunday so far. The park was beautiful. All the moisture had been taken out of the air by the overnight frost and the bright sunshine meant that the veiw was crsytal clear right to the horizon.

Made a nice change from the atmosphere in my bedroom Liz and I had curries last night.

Off to visit my mom and some friends down my old road and then training .

Hope you have a good day.

It's totally foggy and cold here today - reminds me of Bristol.

I think I am going to be a totally lazy bag o' dirt and stay in ALL DAY and NOT EVEN BOTHER TO SHOWER OR GET DRESSED and basically be a total Sunday slob! So there!

Time to eat lunch!

az

Hi gib sis.

Thats twice in as many days that youve mentioned showering to me, youre starting to remind me of someone and its scary, very scary.

I take it from what youve sent me that my emails are getting through but I keep getting messages back that say your end has rejected them

Got work to do now

take care

hmmmm . . . I only received one email from you last week. Did you send more?

Oops, sorry, forgot about the shower thing!

Gotta run - got a free couple of hours so I'm going to the cinema to see Goodbye Lenin.

gib sis?

morning hermanito!

The mentioning of showers is probably because while I am waiting for the bathroom to heat up in the mornings (like now) I put the kettle on for and check my email and hootoo conversations. Then, once the bathroom is all nice and warm I can go and, well, you know. SHOWER.

Of course I don't mean to drag up any scary notions from your recent past so I shall try to be more careful in future.

Btw, Goodbye Lenin was very good. Have you seen it?

sis

So yesterday I was checking out your personal page and saw this thread - What's Wrong With Americans - and checked it out. How bizarre! I'll have to read a bit more of the backlog but it seems to have the 'usuals' on that thread saying utter boll*cks.

Well, don't get too hung up on the 'racist' thing. I always thought it was just 'the human race', but of course others might think otherwise. I find I am not surprised to find those three involved on a thread about Americans and doing their utmost to slag them off at every opportunity. Which at least makes them prejudiced and bigots. How tedious!

Time to eat lunch and get ready for my afternoon classes - talk to you soon!

gib sis

Hello big sis,

I did send you one e-mail last week but it took about three trie to get through

Havent seen goodbye lenin, but everything is rugby at the moment. It seems like Im constantly training, playing, writting policies and procedures or coaching. What with work and making time for Liz seems like theres not much time for anything much once Ive finished work. I tend to just watch comedies and the odd documentary on TV at the moment to unwind before bed.

Ofcourse last night I was trying to get a point across to our friend who soaks up knowledge like a wet rag soaks up oil. Im going to give myself a rest from that and let them get back to slinging insults and talking about the suspension on cars as they seem to enjoy that more.

Thankyou for keeping me sane and making me remember how to write nice posts.

Take care.

hi darling,

Well, there is just no talking to some people. Della very weirdly wrote something about me mentioning an 'attack on boys' in a posting, which of course I didn't do. I sometimes think she is reading and posting to someone in her imagination. It certainly isn't me!

So, how are you today? I had a nice morning, now I am just hanging out until my afternoon classes start.

Meanwhile, I have no idea how I am reminding you how to write nice posts but I don't recommend that you count on me for keeping you sane! I had another scary bout of agoraphobia this morning when I went out to the bank. I had to fight not to just run home. But in the end I got through it. And I was also able to go out to the shops later on.

little big sis

Me Ive been hootooing too much and must get on with other things like chnaguing light strips and such.

You make me remember how to write nice posts because I have to write as I find with you. If I was only rplying to the likes of Della I think i might end up that way too.

Is your agrophobia associated with anything. i have often wondered why Im afraid of heights and fast rides. I can go on them and have done bits of climbing and abseiling but somes times they literally petrify me even though I know my fear is toatally illogical.

buenos días!

I don't think that fear of heights and fast rides are illogical - both could kill you! Anyhow, I think all fears are related to fear of death somehow, though admittedly it is hard to find the link between death and (for example) having a phobia about chins.

As far as I can remember the panic attacks started when I was about fourteen. A few months ago (beginning of summer) they were quite bad and I was even having to cancel classes because I wasn't able to leave the house. But lately I've been much better and so that is why yesterday's attack took me by surprise. Well, I hope it was just an isolated incident, not the beginning of another series of attacks.

So are you really a Virgo?

az

hey bro,

I just got your last email and I couldn't open the attachment. Sometimes Outlook blocks certain types of attachments and I don't know why.

sis

It was of cute kittens and puppies not anything too great, you've probably seen the like before teamed up with homilies about friendship. Thought you might dig that sort of stuff. If you could read those bits I didnt bother to open the attachment as Ive done so with similar stuff and found it was the same as was in the e-mail anyway.
